Los íconos lunares de MTV orbitan las estrellas una vez más, cuando la cadena anunció el lunes su lista completa de nominaciones para los Video Music Awards 2018.

Liderando el paquete en términos de nominaciones en general es la artista del rap (y madre primeriza) Cardi B, que obtuvo 10 total de asentimientos, nueve de los cuales son para efectos visuales que acompañan canciones en las que aparece (a saber, “Finesse” de Bruno Mars y “Dinero” Jennifer López). Solo uno de los clips en solitario de Cardi, “Bartier Cardi”, recibió una nominación.

Beyoncé y Jay-Z siguen de cerca con ocho nominaciones, todas por su video colaborativo “APES ** T” lanzado como parte de su álbum conjunto Everything Is Love a principios de este verano. Ambas visuales de The Carter y Cardi B están nominadas en el video del año junto con “No Tears Left to Cry” de Ariana Grande, “Havana” de Camila Cabello, “This Is America” ​​de Childish Gambino, y “God’s Plan” de Drake. Cabello, Cardi B y Drake también entran en la categoría de canción del año, donde se les unen Ed Sheeran (“Perfect”), Post Malone (“rockstar”) y Dua Lipa (“New Rules”).

Por otra parte, el fallecido productor de DJ Avicii fue honrado con dos nominaciones póstumas (mejor baile y mejores efectos visuales) por su Rita Ora, con el video “Lonely Together”, mientras que otros actores principales como Justin Timberlake, Eminem, Rihanna y N.E.R.D. también apareció en categorías técnicas.
